Blade Server Cooling Issue - Seeking Solutions

Devin Marco

Hi Everyone,

We have an urgent problem at our organization regarding blade server cooling. Our blade servers are overheating, causing performance degradation and occasional system shutdowns. We need your help to find quick and effective solutions to minimize this issue.

To provide a concise overview of the problem:

Overheating: Our blade servers consistently reach high temperatures, which negatively impacts performance and leads to system instability. We suspect that the cooling capacity of our current setup is insufficient to handle the increased ambient temperature.

Airflow Management: We have implemented standard airflow management techniques such as proper cable management, blanking panels, and server positioning. However, we are open to any additional suggestions or specific techniques that have worked well for others facing similar challenges.

Cooling Infrastructure: Our cooling infrastructure consists of air conditioning units and server fans. Although this setup has been reliable in the past, the recent increase in server density and computing loads has overwhelmed its capabilities.
